Kamala Harris Interview : ’My First Priority Is U S’ Opportunity Economy’ | US Elections 2024 | N18G

Vice President Kamala Harris responded to criticism of the economy under the Biden administration in a new CNN interview Thursday—but says she has “more to do” if she wins the White House—as the Democratic nominee gave her first interview as a presidential candidate following weeks of pressure for her to speak with the press. “Day one, it’s going to be about one implementing my plan for what I call an opportunity economy,” Harris told CNN. “I’ve already laid out a number of proposals in that regard, which include what we’re going to do to bring down the cost of everyday goods, what we’re going to do to invest in America’s small businesses, what we’re going to do to invest in families.” Harris was joined by running mate Minnesota Gov.
